My take away is its important to promote critical thinking abilities for our students. They need to have the critical thinking skill in the real world to help them in the classroom. I hope I can use the techniques I learned to build critical thinking skills in my class.

I definitely think I would be a better instructor if I communicated more frequently with my students throughout the week. 

Technology is a great way for everyone to learn. However, ensuring a back up plan is in place is a good idea. Been there, made that mistake. Gulp

My take away from this is that I can see why active learning may be difficult to transition to for professors who are used to a more standard method. But really, its not that different than what has been done in the past. Plus it is way more engaging for the students. Plus it helps the student take ownership of their own learning.
